The grand finals of Supermodel Universe International 2025, Mrs Earth Malaysia 2025, Mrs Classic Universe Malaysia, and Women of the Universe Malaysia 2025 brought together 20 outstanding delegates vying for coveted titles.
The highly anticipated event was graced by the Guest of Honour, Datuk Dr Mohinder Singh, the former District Governor of Rotary International District 3300.

The Super Model Universe Malaysia 2025 title went to Chelsea Colette, a 30 year-old graphic designer from Selangor while the Super Model Universe West Malaysia 2025 title was won by Shaneekha Paremeswaran, a 19-year-old medical Student from Penang. Both winners will be competing in the world finals in China from 12th to 16th November this year.

All four pageant brands saw three rounds of competition - the traditional costume round, the swimwear round, and the evening gown round. There were also two fashion parades - JK Fashion featuring the male delegates of Supermodel Universe International and VIMONO: Vintage Kimono Cardigans by Anastasia featuring all delegates. A selection of shortlisted delegates also showcased their talents during the program.
Over the past several months, delegates underwent rigorous evaluations that tested their personality, character, determination, and advocacy work. They presented environmental initiatives, produced advocacy videos, and participated in personal development, oratory, and runway classes.
A distinctive highlight this year was the mentorship program, in which delegates from the Mrs categories guided and inspired their younger Supermodel counterparts.
The Supermodel Universe International competition welcomed delegates from Malaysia, Syria, Nigeria, Türkiye, Japan, Seychelles, and Kenya, reflecting a vibrant celebration of diversity. All four competitions offered winners crowns, sashes, trophies, and various prizes. The main sponsor, The Heal, contributed wellness packages valued at RM150,000.
A top panel of judges selected the winners, including Founder of Lamode Group Alex Lim, Carol Lim, Rebecca Nair, Puneedha Raja Ram, Rebecca Nair, Carol Lim, Sharimala Mary Ann, Haniza Mohd Haniff, Ohn Morales, Lady Hyacinth Z, Dato' David Gurupatham, Carl Graham, Francis Yip HC, Irish Dianne Ungal-Ong, and Murugan Michael.
The evening was curated by Ammetta Malhotra Begin, internationally renowned fitness trainer, pageant organizer, and Mrs. Classic Universe 2022.
Recently, Ammetta was appointed President of Mrs. Earth for a five-year term—an appointment expected to boost Malaysia’s role in international environmental tourism significantly. In her new role, she will serve as the face and voice of the organisation, championing tourism, friendship, peace, harmony, social causes, and the preservation of Mother Earth.
The Mrs Earth pageant’s mission is to combine beauty and nature in celebrating one of life’s greatest honours: being a woman. The international finals will be hosted across Kuala Lumpur, Pahang, Penang, and either Sabah or Sarawak over the next five years.
Also presented during the competition was the crowning of entrepreneur Angela Jun from Ipoh, Perak, as the 2025 Mrs Earth International Branding & Image Ambassador.
During a short interval between pageant competition rounds, international diver and underwater sports trailblazer Roshan Babu Balakrishnan was awarded the International Underwater Sports Icon 2025 award by the Malaysia Fashion, Modelling & Pageants Association (MFMPA).
